Kane Benson, 19, and Trevor Wallace, 18, were charged with four 15-year felony counts of second-degree home invasion in connection with break-ins of four vacation homes on Curran Drive and Maple Island Road in Silver Creek Township, north of Dowagiac. A neighbor called police Saturday morning after noticing one of the homes had been broken into, and police followed footprints in the snow for three miles to a home where the suspects were arrested.
